In six publications on the website www.sunatimes.com Dahabshiil was associated with criminal acts, terrorism and violence towards the press.

By judgement on 16 December 2014 in summary proceedings the Dutch court of appeal of 's-Hertogenbosch judged that there was not enough evidence for the above mentioned allegations published on the website, and therefore publishing those allegations was defamatory.

The court of appeal ordered me to publish this announcement on www.sunatimes.com and several other websites.

The Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova on Friday condemned the killing of Mohamud Ali Keyre, a Somali journalist of horyaalmedia.com.

In a press release, Irina Bokova says a free and independent press is an essential contribution to dialogue and national reconciliation in Somalia and necessary for democracy and rule of law.

Bokova asked concerned authorities to do all in their power to stem the violence that is claiming so many civilian lives in Somalia including a shocking number of media workers.

Since 2009 18 journalists have been killed in Somalia who were keeping the country informed before they died.
